I don’t know whether the GOP will get the votes on their don’t-call-it-a-CR disaster of a bill this week. But I do know that majorities of Republicans voted against similar bills for all of the last 2 years. So what is making them strap on the ball gag and climb into Trump’s dungeon this week?

Do you ever wonder if Trump's bestie in Russia has furnished him with a dirty dossier on GOP members? It's amazing how many of them used to be critical of him that toe the line now.

@Alternatecelt @SeanCasten I'm sure there are damaging dossiers on some of them, but in the main the phone call is coming from inside the house. Musk has threatened that if they don't toe the line they'll be primaried, and to add to that the "base" threaten their families to keep them aligned with Trump. It's a mafia operation.

A pretty dreadful situation.

@Alternatecelt @SeanCasten We're in the early stages of a dictatorship, or an attempted dictatorship, so this is just the beginning.
